Tone needs to be changed. A lot of it sounds more like a "press release" type writing where we're trying to romanticize the "heroes" of the SCP.
Examples? Herculean effort, heroic effort, stuff like that.

Might have been doctor Blaque-Rectangel. She's at 17.

Ah, no, Dr. Aidun-oh is at Site 3.

I may have gotten carried away at the prospect. But, I think it sounds very interesting…

I liked the concept, but the tone is not clinical. Clean up the tone, I'll change my vote.

No, it's not, I already asked her and she said she didn't know.

That's right.

That "massively negative response" is probably just one guy who spends every waking moment on /x/ and posts a rant every single time an SCP thread is made.

I reckon the Mass Edit's going to reach the 800s sooner or later, and I'm wondering if I should be concerned for 829's safety, between its rating and, um, other issues. (Really I'm just concerned about it being deleted outright. I highly, highly doubt that it would, but since this is my first SCP, it holds a special place in my paranoia.) Anyway, I trimmed a bit more of it, and I'm always looking for constructive criticism. [/shameless self-promotion]
If case you don't know what Addendum 1 is talking about and don't care to look them up:

tried to start a general SCP thread in /x/…which is tanking. Hard. I miss when /x/ was still a creepy/spooky stuff warehouse, and not a /b/-infested heap. It seems every time i try to start a SCP thread, it's in the middle of a /b/ raid, or it's met by zero/massively negative response…

Maybe a few technical details about the motherboard. What form factor, slots, etc. Just little details the Foundation would note, eh?

Well, I was trying to find some interesting combinations using some of the lesser favorites. (076, 517, and 682 have been through a lot by now, after all.)
I wonder if we could get all three of them (173, 650, and 689) to keep an eye on each other for us?
(Note: All this test approval form says on it is "Dr." Dr. who?)

I'm betting against them. SCP-821 cannot even be considered "text": it's a random melting pot (not even string) of characters bearing no connection with each others.

I'm protective of my little 410's, but that is a very interesting proposal. My money's on them beetles.
Mulciber 1258779540|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover
Not the tweak I would make, but it does retain the original sentiment, and this is an evolving wiki document, after all.
As I mentioned to Bouncl, who PM'd me about this, I do want to point out that the scientist being quoted regarding vellum is theorizing. It's a hypothesis restricted to that particular scientist. He may not be right. Vellum works, this is why he thinks it works, but he could just as easily be totally wrong. Vellum is just an interesting substance—one of the oldest things we inscribe writing on, so I thought it would be interesting to include it. The "high-tech" version could certainly be added in as an alternate hypothesis or even an experiment log. I think that it would represent a logical progression in attempts at new containment procedures.
I'd also like to mention that the Memo, while interesting, cites the SCP as a "nonexistent" number. I've never been comfortable with that characterization. The problem with this phenomenon is that it is very existent, though contained. Still, this is a community, and the addition was made with good intent and a desire to improve the piece. I'm happy the entry is interesting enough for people to want to discuss it and make contributions.
